Topic: TOY FAIR 2008! (Read 8459 times)

Yeah, I know it's still six weeks away, and I still have a dozen or so 2007 figures to buy, but I'm already excited! What does everyone think they'll show us, or what do you want to see?

I'm sure we'll see the first 2-3 waves of the 30th AC Collection, even though we've seen TFU and wave 1. I'm hoping we'll see some Clone Wars stuff, however I have heard that this stuff might be kept under wraps until a newtwork has been signed up. Who knows, ToyFair would be a great time to announce a network and premiere date.I hope we'll find out what the Droid Factory waves are.And, a littlle off topic, I'm looking forawrd to a whole lot of Indiana Jones stuff.

The Rebelscum rumor report for 2008 stated that there would be a "Droid Factory" component to 30 figures in the basic figure line in 2008, where each of the 30 figures came with a part to build a droid. It has yet to be seen if all 30 parts will combine for one big droid or if the 30 parts will combine to form multiple droids.

I too hope that they will be unveiling this feature of the Star Wars line.

Hasbro has taken the concept started by Toy Biz in the Marvel Legends line, continued it in their own Marvel Legends line and they have now expanded it to collector waves of Spiderman and Fantasic Four figures. I think it is about time that they brought this concept to the Star Wars figure line.

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

I doubt we'll see much Star Wars wise... maybe 2008 wave 3, more Force Unleashed stuff and maybe the first wave of Clone Wars figures but I have a hunch that Hasbro will be focusing more on the Indiana Jones line.

I can see them showing everything up to CW and possibly the first wave of main characters from CW. They will save the rest of 08 CW for Comic con.

I would really love to see the Falcon get the modern day treatment in that rumored large scale format at RS. I can see this one being debunked, I cannot see Hasbro spending that much on tooling large vehicles in one year. If they make it they can count on me buying it. I would rather see that than the AT-TE. Don't get me wrong, I love that vehicle and will buy it but I prefer the Falcon first!
